My university just switched from Novell servers to NT. There are two servers containing discs to which I have access. One of them gave me no trouble at all. I used this command to mount the shared drive:
smbmount //server1/shared /mountpoint. However, I could not get the drive on the other server mounted. My username and password are identical for both, and I can mount both easily from Windows98. The sysadmin knows nothing of linux, but did suggest one possible difference between the two servers that might be causing the problem. He said the first server, which I don't have trouble with, is a "domain hosted" server, or something like that. While the one that I am having trouble with is a "stand alone" server, or something like that. Sorry, but I know absolutely nothing about Windows NT. He also suggested that I explicitly pass my username and that I use GROUPNAME/USERNAME as my username rather then simply USERNAME. That didn't work, but I thought it might give you a better idea of what he thinks the problem is. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Brian J.
